  1. Do drs really look down on nurses?

    PANurseRN1 replied to lmf2006's topic in General Nursing

    Heh. I've pulled variations of that trick before. It's very effective, and the look you get when you hand the doc a verbal order denying a particular treatment is

  2. Protecting my license..

    PANurseRN1 replied to piglets2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think you should find another job--fast. You are a licensed nurse; she is a minimally educated, unlicensed person who has let her authority fill the vacant space where a brain is supposed to be. You...

  3. Main Problem In The Nursing Field?

    PANurseRN1 replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    You said precisely what I was thinking. CNAs are essential team members, but they are not

  4. HELP! Handed paycheck + fired after complaining about work conditions....

    PANurseRN1 replied to xrispi22's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, no. It is not my job to accept being verbally abused. The OP had every right to take exception to being spoken to so unprofessionally and with profanity. Consider yourself lucky. That doc...

  5. Old nurses dont want to learn new tricks?

    PANurseRN1 replied to garciadiego's topic in General Nursing

    Sigh...and for every nasty old nurse tale of woe you can tell, I can tell you about cocky newbies. I am about sick to death of new nurses stereotyping older nurses. Why is it OK to have repeated...

  6. So frustrated...co-worker stealing drugs.

    PANurseRN1 replied to ND76's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you know for an absolute certainty that this is the person who is diverting, keep it to yourself. If you accuse him/her without solid evidence, you could find yourself staring down the barrell...

  7. Medical Assistant's using LASERS?

    PANurseRN1 replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would be looking for another derm. They probably can do it; MAs can do just about anything under the auspices of the doc's license. That doesn't mean they're compentent and it doesn't mean they're...

  8. Is nursing really this cutthroat?

    PANurseRN1 replied to dougRN2BE's topic in General Nursing

    Here we go with one of the most hackneyed statements that can be made about nursing...that the workplace can be difficult because it is made up primarily of women. Lord, I hate that! Put a bunch of...

  9. Abandoning babies at Hospitals LEGAL?!?!

    PANurseRN1 replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely. Far better than leaving the baby on the doorsteps of a church/otherwise and left to die. I can't imagine how anyone could be against this. Haven't we all seen news reports of newborns that...

  10. Police Killed Our Patient

    PANurseRN1 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Psych. pts. are more likely to be the victims of crime, rather than the

  11. Police Killed Our Patient

    PANurseRN1 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot be serious. Four deaths this year alone, and that's OK? Sounds like these officers need some serious remedial training on dealing with mentally unstable people. Four deaths from Tasers is...

  12. Ever breathe a sigh of relief when a bullying coworker is finally gone?

    PANurseRN1 replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Which just goes to show you that not all bullies are older

  13. Protect your Profession - Promote the Coalition for Pts Rights

    PANurseRN1 replied to Nitecap's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Two major misgivings: First, that the ANA is involved, and second, that chiros are also in this. The ANA is fanning the flames of hostility with their relentless push of the DNP. While I am all for...

  14. Computer Charting

    TechieNurse wrote: Whoa. No way. There is way too much potential for this to be abused. I'm not a car and I'm not a collie. Thanks but no

  15. Computer Charting

    PANurseRN1 replied to sstromberg's topic in General Nursing

    There was not one thing in this post that I felt was a positive. Personally, I would find it irritating as heck to have a freaking pop-up "suggesting" this or that. I HATE pop-ups, period, and the...

  16. Propofol/Ketamine for MAC case

    PANurseRN1 replied to sandman1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I hate taking care of pts. after they've gotten ketamine. They wake up totally wacked out...screaming, hallucinating, sometimes even combative. We do quite a few pain mgmt. procedures where I work,...

  17. Breastfeed or else

  18. Trauma Core Group

    PANurseRN1 replied to Kjbwu98's topic in Emergency

    I think you need to work with the NM to resolve the issues that are causing staff to leave. Otherwise, you'll just have to keep replacing your core group. Having 5 senior staffers leave should be a...

    Don't even try to suggest that alcohol and formula are equally

  20. Leaving the Profession!

    PANurseRN1 replied to chrispicritah's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, brother. Please do not start this again!

  21. Breastfeed or else

    PANurseRN1 replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    Geez, now you're hating on people who choose not to have kids! Not everyone wants children; that's not pathological. It's a personal choice. It doesn't mean people who choose to not have children are...

  22. Breastfeed or else

    PANurseRN1 replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    In other words, testimonials are only worthwhile if they support your side of the argument. I have a friend who was so militant about BF, she used to say that any mother who chooses not to breastfeed...

  23. Breastfeed or else

    PANurseRN1 replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    You shouldn't be juging someone else's choice, period. Who anointed you to be the final arbiter on what is/is not correct? It's attutudes like yours that cause so much resentment. No one needs your...

  24. Breastfeed or else

    PANurseRN1 replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, for heaven's sake, it is not rare. I knew plenty of women who bottle-fed and none of them propped a bottle. That's just a stock-in-trade scare tactic used by the "breast Nazis." I honestly think...

  25. Why Does It Seem That RN's Hate Us and Hospitals Don't Believe In Us??

    PANurseRN1 replied to brown eyed girl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Not necessarily. It's not good to make such
